I must have missed something. Butt, why all this "kickdown linkage" talk??
A 4R70W doesn't need any of that "kickdown linkage".

I followed BILLY W's link and ordered a set of Sport Valve Bilsteins for the front, with Street Valve BIlsteins for the rear. (there are no Sport Valve Rears) Everyone knows I never really drive in a "Sporty" manner. Butt I like the Idea that Miss May could if ever called uppon to.
Plus I have a set of mildly used KYB's for the asking(Ya gotta pay freight)

The current front suspension: Arning Drop, Roller spring perches, Street or track GT 580lb Progressive rate front springs, KYB Gas -a-justs. Rear suspension; Fiberglass monoleaf mid-eye rear springs, KYB rear shocks.
Seems as though the forum sez, "Bilsteins". Thanks Y'all

After conversing with Bearing Bob McDougal & Lt.Dan (Nos681), I've decided no matter how cool Coilovers don't fit the budget. On to Bilstine Shocks to replace the KYB's or just keep the Gas-a-justs.
Had experience with Bilstine Shocks?? Plz do tell  or review.
Also looking for a vendor, Street or Track is good guys, curious bout cheaper price or sale.

'll be attempting a tooless install tomorrow. Josh's photos give me a template to follow.
Paint Jail... I handed the 2+2 to Trevor(Painter) on Jan 8 of 2021. He allowed as how the job would take 6 weeks.
I picked up the painted 2+2 Nov 6 of 2021. Yeah Paint Jail. Same colors, and the Le Mans stripes are finally the correct width too MS

Thanks Josh, your photos show me what it should look like when I get done.
 I thought I'd seen that the spring rod thingy, shouldn't be installed in what looks like the most likely position.
It had to be torqued before installation, so it has a "Spring action" effect. Without that the trunk lid won't stay up, I don't need any problems about that.

Thanks MS I found it.

Maybe Mochaman or j-kb can field this one.
Fenders, doors, hood and trunk lid were removed in the process of having Miss May's being repainted.
I'm now reinstalling the trunk lid hinge assembly & lid torsion rod spring thingy. and am puzzled bout how to fit the dang thing back so's it works. (while not scratching the new paint)
Any one care to splain??
Oh Yeah, MS what is your trick for reattaching the rear valance corners??
